Tell Us This

The most recent win came at Tramore just this week, the latest chapter in a career that began to find its feet with a first victory at Down Royal back in May 2024. Cromwell's yard is firing on all cylinders this season — 98 winners and counting — so Tell Us This is contributing to a stable that clearly knows what it is doing. The fact that the horse is active and winning right now makes it worth paying attention to.

One detail that stands out is the record on normal ground conditions. On a standard surface — not too wet, not too dry — Tell Us This has won 2 races from just 6 attempts, a win rate of 33%, or roughly 1 in every 3. That is a sharp number. For context, most horses at this level win somewhere around 1 in 10 on any given surface. Finding that Tell Us This has a particular surface it thrives on is the kind of edge that makes a horse genuinely interesting to follow.

Regular jockey Keith Donoghue has yet to get his hands on a winner with this horse across 8 rides together, which is a curious subplot given the horse clearly can win. Whether that changes now that Tell Us This is clearly in a purple patch remains to be seen, but the partnership will be one to watch as the season continues. Cromwell has the horses in good order, and Tell Us This looks like one that has saved some of its best for now.
